Apostille
Apostille for Canada from Kansas City
Documents for Canada need an apostille. We apostille Missouri, Kansas and out-of-state documents, add the French translation and ship them to you or abroad.

- Four languagesEnglish, Spanish, Arabic, French
Apostille accepted.
Canada has accepted the apostille since January 11, 2024. Before then, U.S. documents needed authentication and legalization.
Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention on January 11, 2024, so U.S. documents going to Canada need an apostille instead of the old authentication and legalization steps. English and French are both official languages; offices in Quebec may ask for French.
We do not give immigration or legal advice.
Documents clients send to Canada.
- Powers of attorney for property and banking
- Birth and marriage certificates
- Diplomas and transcripts for credential assessment
- Business documents
- FBI background checks
Translation needs.
English documents are generally accepted in Canada. When a French translation is needed, for example in Quebec, we prepare certified translations for $45 per page, $35 per page from three pages. Ask the receiving office whether it accepts a translation made in the U.S.
